Chapter 222 The truth comes out
"Mr. Meng, smoke."
"Ouch, Master Meng, your water is getting cold. I'll give you some warm water."
"Mr. Meng, this is the old duck soup made by my wife. I specially brought it to you to try."
Sitting in the warden's office, several jailers gathered around Meng Shaoyuan, constantly waiting to please him.
The warden, Wu Yaozu, stood there with a mournful face, waiting for a call at any time.
"Old Wu, don't be so restrained. Well, this old duck soup tastes good and delicious." Meng Shaoyuan was full of praise: "Old Wu, this is very important to stand in line. You said you are also an official, although you are
There are officials in the public concession, but the officials don’t help the officials, so what are you thinking about there?”
"Yes, yes, that's what Master Meng taught you." Wu Yaozu nodded repeatedly.
The door of the office opened, and Zhu Yanni walked in carrying a small bag. Her twists and turns, coupled with her graceful figure, made the jailers' eyes shine.
But only Wu Yaozu knew how terrifying this woman was.
"Hey, let me tell you, Xiao Zhu, this is a prison after all. You can't just come here and call this place your home?" Meng Shaoyuan actually had the nerve to say this shamelessly.
"This is the place, I'm not here yet... Hey, what are you eating?"
"Lao duck soup tastes good. Lao Sun's wife made it. You can try it."
Zhu Yanni took a bite and said, "It's delicious. It's really delicious. Lao Sun, your wife's cooking skills are excellent."
"Thank you for the compliment, thank you for the compliment."
Zhu Yanni took out three big yuan from the small bag and said, "It's for you."
"Oh, you are my grandma, thank you very much."
The other jailers were all dejected.
How many ducks can you buy for three ocean dollars?
My mind was spinning so fast that I began to think about what delicious food to make in the evening to honor this Master Meng.
Zhu Yanni looked at the pale Wu Yaozu and said, "Old Wu, don't worry, your wife and children are fine. I will send them back to you when the matter is settled."
Meng Shaoyuan immediately responded: "Give Lao Sun another sum of money to calm the panic."
"Don't dare, don't dare." Wu Yaozu said repeatedly.
"Stop being hypocritical." Meng Shaoyuan said with a smile: "Qianli became an official to make a fortune. How much profit did you get from the prisoners by being the warden? Those who were given money had better living and food conditions, and those who had no money
, that would be painful. Old Wu, you are wrong.
You might as well extort more from those bandits, bullies and hooligans, but what about those poor people? Some of them were unjustly imprisoned, and some were forced to commit crimes. It seems inappropriate for you to blackmail them again, right?
They are afraid of your power and dare not say it openly, but secretly they scold you. Maybe you will be unlucky in the future and lose power. No one can guarantee it, right? What if you fall into their hands? "
"Yes, yes, that's what Boss Meng taught you."
Wu Yaozu didn't dare to reply a word, he only dared to nod frequently.
Meng Shaoyuan didn't care whether he could listen or not. In short, he had said everything he needed to say.
…
"Mr. Kongshan, in your opinion, what should we do now?"
Du Yuesheng's dimensions were a bit messed up.
A series of sustained and precise blows, as well as internal and external pressure, and the pressure of public opinion, have made him somewhat breathless.
He never expected that it would be such a result.
Just because I offended a spy.
"Mr. Du." Li Beiye sighed: "Although I don't have anything and only wear white clothes, I still have some friends after all. My friends in Nanjing told me that even the Japanese are not afraid of Meng Shaoyuan, so how can they be afraid of us?
.
In these extraordinary times, Mr. Du is a man of integrity and resolutely refuses to associate with the Japanese. I admire him very much. However, our use value has been squeezed out, and the National Government has no need for us.
Since ancient times, when a cunning rabbit dies, a lackey is cooked, when a flying bird disappears, a good bow is hidden. When Mr. worked for the chairman of the committee, the chairman naturally allowed him to do whatever he wanted. Even if he offended Kong Xiangxi, he could turn a blind eye.
What now? The Chairman has gained a firm foothold. He can still survive such a big event as the Double Twelve Incident. Sino-Japanese frictions continue. The Chairman is the only leader of China. People like us, he can’t ignore it.
In my eyes.
Moreover, we have done many dirty things for him in the past, but they were all hidden from the light. What if it is leaked? Mr. Du, think about it from another angle.
It is true that Mr. Kong Xiangxi has offended Kong Xiangxi, but why did he suddenly come to trouble you at this time? Is he trying to trouble you, or is someone trying to warn you not to talk nonsense? "
Du Yuesheng was startled: "Could it be..."
"It's the person at the top!" Li Beiye sighed: "Back then, Mr. Du's relationship with the French Concession deteriorated, so he got close to the National Party. But in No. 412 Middle School, you offended everyone in the Workers' and Peasants' Party, so the Chairman gave you
A major general is a councilor, but this is not an easy position to hold.
During the Yangtze River floods, Mr. Du contributed money and efforts, which was a good thing. However, the Chairman of the Standing Committee of the Communist Party of China gave you a plaque saying "Be kind and generous". You accepted it and hung it in the most conspicuous place. Wang Jingwei gave you a plaque saying "Be kind to the people and love things". You also accepted it.
It is also taboo to put it side by side with the chairman's plaque. There are no two days in the sky and they cannot coexist.
You originally had a grudge against the Workers' and Peasants' Party, but then they found you and asked for your help, and you agreed to give them money, supplies, and help them transfer people. Do you think those people in Lixingshe didn't know? Do you think the Chairman
Don’t know? This is another taboo.
During the Double Twelve Incident, you called Zhang Xueliang urgently and were willing to use yourself as a hostage in exchange for the Chairman. You have been loyal to this point. The Chairman should always be grateful, right? But when he returned to Nanjing safely, all the meritorious personnel were commended, but
Where is the gentleman here? There is not even a word of encouragement.
Sir, have you ever thought about why this is not the case?
Huang Jinrong was smart. The Chairman of the Generalissimo used to worship him as an old man. But when the Chairman became the Commander-in-Chief of the Northern Expeditionary Army, Huang Jinrong burned the apprenticeship sticker in front of him.
Yelling, if anyone mentions the past, Huang Huangrong will immediately fall out. This is true loyalty!
From now on, whenever Huang Jinrong celebrates his birthday, the chairman will definitely send someone to give him a birthday gift. This is actually telling his husband and Zhang Xiaolin that no matter how old you are, you are never too big!
Where is the gentleman? He is generous and forthright, and does not stick to trivial matters. When chatting with others, he will always talk about how the Chairman, Dai Li and others were in Shanghai back then. This is the third taboo. Generally speaking, people who hold great power can say how poor they were in the past.
But others can’t tell.
During the currency reform, you have suffered a lot of losses. If you lose, then you have to accept your fate. How can you make a profit without losing money in speculation? But you are so angry that you forced Kong Xiangxi to compensate you for your losses.
Who does Kong Xiangxi represent? Not himself or the National Government, but the chairman of the committee.
Sir, you are confused. How dare you ask Kong Xiangxi for compensation? Are you telling the chairman in another way that currency reform is possible, but it cannot cause you, Du Yuesheng, to suffer any losses, otherwise you, Du Yuesheng, will not be given any face?"
Du Yuesheng was suddenly covered in cold sweat.
Li Beiye shook his head slightly: "If I guessed it right, Meng Shaoyuan is not representing Dai Li or Kong Xiangxi, but the chairman of the committee! After all, the chairman of the committee is thinking about old friendship and just sent someone to warn you. Otherwise, it would be difficult to tell you.
ah."
Du Yuesheng was sweating coldly: "I almost missed a big event, Mr. Li, what should I do now?"
"Think about it, why is Meng Shaoyuan so arrogant and domineering? Why doesn't he save any face for you in front of so many people? He is warning you, even reminding you. He is here, a little spy, dare to
Why did he do this in front of the boss in Shanghai? He came with a mission, and the person who gave him the mission was no small matter. Behind any abnormal thing, there is a hidden meaning. It is a pity that Mr. Du was
Didn’t see it.”
Li Beiye smiled bitterly: "So in this sense, Meng Shaoyuan is not an enemy, but a friend, no, an ally. Mr. Du, whether you can save your life depends on this ally!"
"So what should I do now?"
"Meng Shaoyuan has left a step for you to get off. It depends on whether you, Mr. Du, can catch it. Doing as he said will only lose some face, but everything Mr. Du currently owns can be saved."
"I understand, I understand."
Du Yuesheng murmured, and then he immediately stood up: "Quick, come with me to Tilanqiao."
…
"Chief Meng, I really don't understand. After all, Du Yuesheng is a well-known person in Shanghai. You are disrespecting him by treating him like this. He will definitely not be able to come to power."
The jailers in the office had all left, and Zhu Yanni couldn't help but ask her doubts.
Meng Shaoyuan put his feet up on the desk and smiled: "Kong Xiangxi was in trouble in Shanghai back then, but he is now an important minister of the country. Do you think he really has time to talk to Du Yuesheng? Someone else instigated him to do this. He did not want Du Yuesheng.
What a shame, but I want to warn him to watch his mouth and not do things he shouldn't do."
"Is there someone else? Who?" Zhu Yanni didn't quite understand.
"No one can offend that person."
"Where's Mr. Dai?"
"He wants Mr. Dai's life at the snap of his fingers."
"Could it be..."
"As long as you know, don't say it." Meng Shaoyuan stopped the other party: "Mr. Dai told me that this is a tour, but where is the tour? Mr. Dai knows that wherever I, Meng Shaoyuan, go, the waves are rough, so I don't want to cause any trouble.
The movements and sounds are not like the person I, Meng Shaoyuan, am.
Look, why are those colleagues at Shanghai Station cooperating with me so fully? It’s not because I, Meng Shaoyuan, have any dignity, but because they have already received instructions from above. If Du Yuesheng is smart, he will come soon. Otherwise,
Hehe, I'm afraid he won't be able to survive the first half of the first month."
Zhu Yanni understood: "What if he..."
